So what’s the big problem with sticking to regular time for your time zone? If you want to make more of the daylight get your ass out of bed.

That forehead is so big it's a fivehead.
And I recall having to go to high school on the school bus in all that darkness. At that time, it used to begin in February. And it was much worse (i.e. darker in the mornings). I hated it. Now that I'm in FL, the daylight/nighttime hours are more even in general. But, of course, the more north you go in latitude, the worse it gets. I recall being in Seattle in early November and it got dark at 4:10pm That was totally weird. I vote we keep changing the times. I don't mind it. And most of my computers, devices, etc., account for DST and change it automatically anyway!
And, you guys know what I like. ... "And I cannot lie!"

I wasn't arguing for or against it. However, it appears that sticking to regular time isn't an option for the government. They are locked in on the "energy savings" gains we get over the summer by it staying lighter later. So our only options is to keep switching the clocks or go DST all year around. It sounds good on paper. Most people don't realize what they are getting themselves into.
It would probably be instructive to think about how savings time came into being. It had nothing to do with farmers as we've been told as they've always adjusted their schedule to the needs of the farm. Actual clock means little. The cows don't read clocks but they'll come in for milking at the same time... and in proper pecking order too. No, DST was pushed by a bird watcher of all things. So he could watch birds on his schedule and not interrupt supper.
I recall hearing that it actually started as a joke by Benjamin Franklin. From the Wiki Article on DST:
That would set off a whole bunch of issues like, parents needing to arrive at work an hr late since they have to either stay at home with their kids and/or drive them to school (or to the bus stop) an hr late. It could change "Rush Hour" considerably.
I'm guessing people forget that you naturally get more light during the summer so just leave it as it is supposed to be, 12pm is well noon day and you will naturally have more hours of light in the summer and less in the winter without all this B.S. of changing clocks and messing everybody's bodies up.
I wonder if Jared ever made their most wanted list.
Ok, I know I said bird watcher, but it was the insect guy I was thinking of. I'm old.
Never before has there ever been a better lineup of bad boob jobs.
Its glazing from a donut....lighten up Francis!
